Lacquerware Ashtray: Golden Etched Phoenix Motif

This elegant ashtray celebrates the Phoenix (?????), a revered figure in Myanmar’s royal heritage representing beauty, prosperity, and renewal. Its flowing feathers and graceful movement convey a sense of timeless harmony, honoring the cultural belief in rebirth and the enduring balance found in classical Burmese art.

The value of master craftsmanship is captured through the sophisticated combination of Yun Htoe (hand-etched relief) and Shwe Zee Yin Htoe (gold inlay). This dual technique adds luminous richness and tactile depth to every feather, reflecting the incredible patience of Bagan artisans. Every piece is built upon a bamboo core and finished with natural Thit-si lacquer for a refined, durable finish.

More than a smoking accessory, this piece offers a meaningful connection to the radiant spirit of the Phoenix. It brings sophistication and cultural pride to your space, serving as a constant reminder of resilience and elegance.
